Mnnh of this has neen reached thIOugh

Much of this has neen reached through
sad laundering, kind OF blind feeling
after truth, Crude indeed have been the
methods and the results pitiful. Slowly
from the crude has been evolved the ar
tistic, but the last century has shown
rapid advance, and each year the prog
ress becomes more marked.
Many of our readers doubtless remem-
Der the sampler of grandmother, the de-
pressing picture Of some weeping female,
the dropping willow and the grsvestone,
her hsndiwork, wreaths OF Impossible
flowers mad from hsir OF different
members of the family, and many other
devices in crewel, wax and paper that
adorned the "best room" These were
followed in mothers time by paintings IN
water and oil, where both proportion and
perspective were ignored, and where
blues, FELLOWS and greens OF most vivid
hues rendered these faults more glaring
Succeeding this era came the modern
crszes from which women are barely
emerging, and by hsppy continuation OF
use and beauty carrying out the harmony,
of which she forms so important part.
Art schools are doing much in direct
| ing the taste of women and bad designs
and false coloriDg will fast disappear IN
der the lessons there taught. There is
already 3 marked change in fancy
work" The stiff Japanese styles, the
queer embroideries in faded hues, and the
absurd decoration of things not orna-
mental, hsve given place to C0mblua-
ton in which use and beauty hold equal
rank.
! Popular among the industries OF o-day
| ia drawn works and 9household linen for
every use is adorned with it. There can
be no more appropriate gift to bride or

fed by the work of loving hands. Cush-
IONS for chair or couch nave thulr Uses
snd are now adorned with embroidery,
poppy fowers,a pine twig. or someiequally
appropriate design suggestive CT repose'
These are but two very insignificant fac
tors of the whole, yet each has It's place
| in the ideal home where truth IN arr, IN

b!es mans nature is to be found the
nandmaiden of her who is in reality
"Queen Of the household"
